Is it true that if you keep a small pond in your garden with toads, frogs,that they will eat all the mosquitos?
when they usually start doing this and how they do this?
as have noticed since having the pond in the garden with the toads sitting on the lilly pads..have not had much of a mosquito problem (SURPRISINGLY)
please explain how this works out this way as thought it would be the opposite?
thanks for your answers!
Get a couple of mosquito fish http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquitofish
and you will have no mosquito problem at all. Yes, the toads eat many of them. Surprisingly enough, goldfish do not. They are essentially vegetarians.
You can also use Mosquito Dunks, a product that eliminates mosquitoes and does not harm your pond.
But toads and frogs eat mosquitoes as a main part of their food supply. But a few mosquitoes always escape to buzz you. Best to keep them at bay with another means.

Sittin' Chicken and Turkey Combo
$20.25 These two ceramic cones, one for a chicken and one for a turkey, make an easier and safer alternative to cooking with an actual beer can. The method is the same: liquid is put in a cylinder that goes up inside the bird's cavity, and as the liquid heats during grilling it creates steam that keeps the bird moist.
